[V8] Exhaust

[Sean]

Guys and gals,

All great comments and I do understand the effect of the x-over pipe.  I 
also under stand fluid dynamics and the steep angles on the "stock:" 
x-over pipe are bad for flow/power.  I am not looking to delete, but 
improve the x-over pipe.  by reduce the angle of the incoming air you 
reduce back pressure and flow more exhaust gas.  The key with exhaust 
tuning is to keep velocity up till it's at least 3 feet away from the 
port.  That isn't that far in tubing, but still the "stock" unit is 
restrictive.  I am also looking to max out what the ecu can do before I 
need a chip, then chip it or just 5-speed the thing and run Standalone.

Thanks
Sean
